A Construction Yard
A significant and very senior public servant recently asked me, brows knitted, coffee froth over lipstick what I considered to be me - how in fact do I describe myself to others.
Growing Pains
I have never imagined for a moment myself as a writer, yet here I am at 6AM in the morning putting pen to paper metaphorically speaking.
Bunkers Bay Series
The south-west of Western Australia is a magical corner of Australia, naturally imbued with a magnificent coastline and rolling hills between.
Textile Study
Studying under the tutelage of artists Pat Bandurski, Jenni Doherty, Russel Sheridan and Linda Scrolys at Edith Cowan University, Western Australia on the Bunbury campus I was encouraged to explore abstract expression using mixed media collage.
Self Portrait
Self-reflexive moments in professional arts practice are rare indeed, in my case the first came about prior to the 1993 South West Survey prize which gave me the impetus to picture myself standing in the kitchen of my beach side home, scratching my head and featureless.

Angels By Day
Perhaps it was the screaming, maybe the tension, perhaps even the physical altercations we had as kids with our Father's mainly that drove us onto the street.
Heading West
A piece of cardboard, a texta (ink) pen, $10 in my wallet, odd socks, a few pairs of undies, a jacket and absolutely no idea what I was in for.
Kirrawee Senior High School
Yes. It's in the Sutherland Shire, NSW Australia. Home to the Cronulla riots much later in 2005.
Curious Child
My curiosity as a child evolved into that of an obsessional teenager with a focus on electronic systems and wearable technologies.
Church Of England Boys Society
Some say that when you have run out of energy, run out of sadness and despair that forgiveness is the only thing left to do, to reclaim that which allows peace and healing to come in.
Forever Friends
He is my Brother. He is my best mate. He is one of many mates but with this bloke I've travelled further than all of them. I have lots of Brother's but we dont share the same Mother.
